Episode 74 is Live! Fish Misconceptions
We thought about calling the episode "fishconceptions", but that sounded weird.
Listen to episode 74 here!
In this episode, the crew interview Hannah Sinclair, museum specialist in the ichthyology department at the American Museum of Natural History! We learn about her life, her love of fish, freedom to pursue her fishy obsessions and her work at the museum. We then delve into common fish misconceptions. We talk about some weird species that people don't always know are fish and then talk about which animals are fish and which aren't! Come along for the ride!
This podcast is brought to you by the Berlin's bloodworm eel Ophisternon berlini. Ever wish that earthworms had eyes and a spinal cord? Meet the Berlin’s Bloodworm eel! This eel was discovered in 2024, 50-75 cm below the surface, buried in swamp mud in Costa Rica. No actual body of water was found nearby its discovery. It's pink, blind and finless, making it for all intents and purposes, a glorified worm. Cheers to you, Berlin’s bloodworm eel and welcome to the family!
